2-page paper, accompanied by a 2-minute narrated slide presentation that

The study of Ethics and Philosophy is one which brings many different kinds of
"thinkers" together. One person's philosophy on Ethics is another person's philosophy on Evil. We will be working this term on
constructing personal ethical bases and understanding how Ethical Codes (both personal and professional) are created and followed.
To start us thinking about the different areas of philosophy and ethics, and how we fit
into the different mo..

opening page states, Mark Twain warned that “Whenever you find yourself on
the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” It is likely
that your parents warned you “not to follow the crowd,” or your school
counselors warned you about “peer pressure.”The United
States utilizes a democratic republic form of government, which espouses the
“majority rule” in many instances. For example, when passing laws, Congress and
state Legi..
Consider
these three problems. In writing a paper about all three of them individually,
identify the consequences of the actions taken, and then determine whether the
actions taken represented a greater good, who would benefit from the good, and
whether the consequences ethically justify the decisions and actions.Problem

Contract theorists say that morality consists of a set of rules governing how
people should treat one another that rational beings will agree to accept for
their mutual benefit, on the condition that others agree to follow these rules
as well.
Hobbes runs the logic like this in the form of a logical syllogism:
1) We are all self-interested,
2) Each of us needs to have a peaceful and cooperative social order to
pursue our interest..

You Decide:
Ethical Decision Making
Scenario
SummaryOne of the great ongoing situations that calls for
ethical decision making is the reality that there is almost always a greater
need for something than there is a supply to meet the need.For our assignment and scenario, the demand is the
life-and-death situation of the need for transplantable organs and the rather
small and transitory supply. Hard decisions need to be made, and there is
little time to think things through. Thes..

There are
three basic propositions in standard Utilitarianism (Please be sure to listen
to Mill's audio lecture before joining this threaded discussion):
1. Actions are judged right and wrong solely on their consequences; that
is, nothing else matters except the consequence, and right actions are simply
those with the best consequences.
2. To assess consequences, the only thing that matters is the amount of
happiness and unhappiness caused;..

ethics clearly connect individuals with their larger community, but at the
individual level, they are not completely unlike the care-based ethics
presented in the Three Primary Schools model. Care-based ethics enjoys a kind
of reciprocity between people in which decision-makers can imagine themselves
as the object of the decision as well as the subject of the decision-making
process. At the same time, and perceiving themselves in dual roles in..

Different
ways to analyze ethical behaviors and dilemmas exist, and many of them will
help direct you to the correct or “best” solution to a problem. As we
discussed in week 1 in the “tough choices” .pdf, sometimes right vs. right or
wrong vs. wrong decisions have to be made.
In the
lecture this week, you are given three ethical dilemma resolution models
to try out on a dilemma provided there. Please review that interactive before

This week,
we looked at two more ethical codes—one for the Project Management Institute,
and one for Engineers.
(Find links
to these professional codes in the Week 7 Assignment tab along with
the Week 7 readings.)
You can see
that both of them are much simpler than the Legal code we looked at last week,
and even simpler than the Medical code of ethics. Appropriate professional
behavior, practice, and discipline varies among professions and r..

Reflective Assignment Based on Ethical Memoir You began this session considering a moral-ethical dilemma
you yourself faced that you either resolved or failed to resolve, but hopefully
learned from. You may never have given much thought to ethical theory nor what
ethical premises/paradigms you have unconsciously held.
Now that you’ve had an opportunity to explore ethics
formally, create a reflective assessment. Revisit your ethical memoir: what
ethical theory best applies to your experienc..
